Located right next to the entrance, the kitchen follows the curve created by the stairwell. Far from being a mere architectural feature, it becomes the common thread running through the entire project!
Colors, materials and appliances are reminiscent of the 50s aesthetic of kitchens in the United States, where the owner was born.
Back in the entrance hall, curved partitions guide and make movement flow better between the different living spaces.
Opposite the kitchen, the living room is arranged to draw the visitor’s eye towards the Canal de l’Ourcq.
The load-bearing wall, partly preserved for technical reasons, is turned into a real asset, structuring spaces and accommodating bespoke storage units.
A Louis Poulsen ceiling light brightens up the convivial dining area. This Scandinavian nod to hygge is reinforced by the presence of parquet flooring and a solid wood table.
Let’s head for the master bedroom, with its magnificent custom-made headboard, whose curves echo those of the living room.
We can’t get enough of this view over the canal!
Speak of the devil, it’s the canal itself that we find in this bathroom. The zellige tiling, with its play of colors, reflections and layout, is a direct evocation of the canal. Even the mirror is reminiscent of a barge porthole!
The tour ends in the guest bedroom. Featuring a full-width desk in Okoumé plywood, it offers a picturesque view over the heights of the 19th arrondissement!
